Welcome to a new age
Of many thinking minds
Using the past
Not as shackles, but as a guide.
Building on the knowledge
Of the ones who came before
But leaving behind
All their legends and their wars
(Pre-Chorus)
I said...
We want the power
We want a voice
We want the freedom
To make a choice
No time for games now
Our time is here
We're gonna start a revolution
When we...
(Chorus)
Stand on the shoulders of giants
See how far we see
Watch the Earth's revolution
As it spins beneath our feet
Too often are the lives of many
In the hands of the few
And the grind of the system
Makes it hard to know what to do
Let us be your flag
That you wave high in the air
And we'll shout from the rooftops
Until they see us here
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Solo
(Dean Parnell - Electric Guitar)
(Jesse Aumillier - Keyboard)
[Chorus] x2
Come on all you painters
And creators of the future
Recognize the lines in the skies
That predict the time of our demise
Take command, raise your heavy hand
And take a stand.
The time is ours, the time is now,
Make sure they understand
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus] x2

The Buzz
03:11
|
|||
|
Do you hear it?
That same repetitive buzz.
It's running around in your mind
Every day of your life
Driving you to extinction.
Can you see it?
All around.
The plague that is humanity
It's ignorance and apathy
Are slowly bringing you down.
Do you feel it?
In your veins.
Your cries of revolution
Against this institution
Are falling on deaf ears again.
Do you see it's a system that you can't control
And the buzz will take you over and inject into your soul.
It creeps into your brain, driving you insane,
Til your so fuckin drained that you can't feel the pain.
Can you tell me is this world so corrupted?
That we've lost all expression.
Our generation is voiceless.
And we forgot how to rebel!
Do you hear it?
Can you see it?
Do you hear it?
Can you see it?
Do you feel it everyday of your life?
Does it drive you insane?

Imaginary Day
05:50
|
|||
|
Close your eyes, look into the dark
Search your mind for the spark of life
That you've lost very deep inside
Breathe in the air, remember who you are
You're more than a speck of dust on the tail of a shooting star
Come away with me to an imaginary time
It's a place where we can hit rewind.
Too fast they sucked you into this game they call reality
Too slow were you to react, and now your mind's in slavery
Don't become a clone, think on your own
In this life you only get one try
Better do it your own way
Imaginary Day
We want it to come and take us away.
Open your eyes again, look into the light
No longer blinded by reality
You see with perfect sight.
You're gonna make a change, you'll never walk the same
Cause in the back of your mind you can always find
An image of what life could be
Imaginary Day
We want it to come and take us away
Finally you freed yourself from the chains
And you look down on their poor crying brains
And from way up in the sky
You have the power to ask "why?"
Cause you are free, and you can see
Your dreams become reality
And you're not so far from the shooting star
That you wished would take you away.
Imaginary Day
We want it to come and take us away
Imaginary Day
Now you see that it's not very far away
Imaginary Day
It's only imaginary if you want it that way

Life Moves On
03:34
|
|||
|
Gather round my friends
And I'll tell you it's not the end.
There's so many places
And many new faces
Waiting around the bend.
We don't want to say goodbye
It's too hard to even try
We're all parting ways
And just counting the days
That we have left to enjoy our time.
But, life moves on...
Yeah, life moves on.
Interlude
(Sean Langwell - Electric Guitar)
Remember the things we've done
To just try and have some fun
We'd be riding in cars
Or just playing guitars
And laughing with everyone.
So try not to be too sad
Cause there's still good times to be had
And this part of our lives
Will survive all the tides
And be with us til the end.
Cause life moves on...
Yeah, life moves on,
Life moves on.

Optical Illusion
03:13
|
|||
|
Maybe life is just an optical illusion
It's all just part of this everlasting delusion
I get so crazy I don't know my own name
Things change and they'll never be the same
I said stop
Just stop
Stop
And let me think for awhile
How can I tell whats real when all my life feels like a dream? And I
Dont know why I even try to explain the way things seem to me
Each day's a new revelation, always filled with contemplations
Of what i am, and when's it all just gonna
Stop
Just stop
Stop
I need to think for awhile
About this optical illusion I'm living in
Oh, when will it stop?
Stop
Stop
Do I really want it
To stop?
Stop
Stop from
Living in me
Maybe life is just an optical illusion
It's all just part of this everlasting delusion
I get so crazy I don't know my own name
Things change and they'll never be the same
But that's okay, I'll keep living in my
Optical illusion
My everlasting delusion
Optical, it's an optical illusion.

Marked for Death
04:15
|
|||
|
Hello my friend,
I better not be seen with you...
You spoke your opinion and questioned their lies
But now they have marked you and you're in their sight
You used all the freedom that you thought you had
But those were just more lies they put in your head.
(Chorus)
I'm sorry my friend, but this is the end.
They've marked you for death and you're gone.
Their power's too great and we came much too late
All our revolting is done.
We live in a country of lost principles
And those things that built it are now being killed.
You fought for your liberty and rights of man
But this is a world where you're shot if you stand.
[Chorus]
Here they come, you better run,
Not that it'll do much good
You've been marked for death
Solo
(Dean Parnell - Electric Guitar)
I'm leaving you to save myself
Don't say you know me, blame someone else.
I didn't want it to turn out this way
But you're a dead man, what can I say?
[Chorus]
{Once marked there can be no escape.
You're marked for death.
And you will die.}

Play Music
04:57
|

|
The sun comes up and you know it's a new day
You say, "What am i gonna do?
I need to, I need to find an escape"
So you pack up your things and you get in the car
And you, you drive away
You tell 'em, "I'm gonna play me some music,
And forget about everything"
(Chorus)
You gotta...
Let the music carry you away
Don't look back until you've forgotten all your pain
Let the music carry you away
Free your mind for awhile
Until you feel okay
Music is the grand connector
Collaboration in all it's efforts
You hear four or five people at a time
Playing as one and it sounds so great
And you, you can't sit down
You wanna stand, you wanna move
You wanna play
You say "What were all those things
That were getting me so down yesterday?"

Remember September 2001

(Chorus)
Remember September 2001
Remember the day the towers went down
Remember the gallant men who died
Trying to save the people trapped inside
At 8:46 that Tuesday morn
America changed, a courage was born
Flight 11 was slammed into Tower 1
And a new war of terror had just begun.
[Chorus]
As Americans watched with eyes open wide
The firemen came to answer the cry
And like the old legends of men strong and brave
They rushed into danger, and some to their grave.
The South tower was hit as the North tower burned
And the true meaning of the word "terror" was learned
They saw all the people, panicked and scared
But they grabbed a hose and ran up the stairs
Civilians came down as firemen went up
The chauffeurs outside positioned their trucks
The chiefs had set up a command center their
There was no way to know that the buildings would fail
Interlude
(Dean Parnell - Acoustic Guitar)
[Chorus]
Thousands of souls were lost on that day
The pain and the anger just won't go away
But when you remember the towers great fall
Let it be the great heroes that your mind recalls.
[Chorus]
Remember September 2001
Remember September 2001
Remember September 2001
Remember September 2001

Peaceful Universe
07:16
|
|||
|
Step into the wind and watch yourself get blown away
This life was meant to be taken day by day
And violence interrupts our peaceful minds
Filling us with hatred that we can't describe
(Chorus)
I'm looking for a peaceful universe
Our own modern utopia
A paradise like we have never seen
And this could be only the beginning...
Of a better world
Solo
(Jesse Aumillier - Saxophone)
Look around and tell me what you see
A thousand generations of humanity
How did they struggle to survive?
Struggle to live and be free?
How did they picture future society?
[Chorus]
Solo
(Dean Parnell - Electric Guitar)
Here we are standing on this rock in space
The perfect place for life, and yet we let it go to waste
Oh if we take the time, we can find a better way
To compromise and coexist in harmony
[Chorus]
